Chinese Perform Shaolin Kung Fu - RT Documentary

Look at this incredible footage of Shaolin Kung Fu artists, and the harsh beatings they can endure. The ancient Chinese martial art is more than just a type of fighting. To reach success, the disciples meditate, increasing their spiritual growth. The art is more than 1,500 years old and remains extremely popular beyond China’s borders too. There are lots of Shaolin martial art schools in China. Epo Wushu College in the Shaolin Mountains is among the top ones. The youngest students are just three. Studying here is far from being called ‘fun’ – the pupils live in spartan conditions and undergo harsh daily training with fists, knives, and swords. But all of them know what they do it for. Watch ‘Little Miss Kung Fu’ (2017) and learn more. #HumanStories@rt__documentary
